It came as no surprise, but Phil Hughes had to feel a sense of a let down when he was sent to Triple-A Scranton on Saturday. Spring training 2009 was much different than last year's version. Hughes was guaranteed a spot in the rotation in '08, but he knew no matter how well he pitched this spring his ticket was probably already punched for Scranton. With the acquisition of CC Sabatha and A.J. Burnett in the off-season, Hughes' immediate future was clear.
Joining Hughes in Scranton will be pitchers Anthony Claggett and Steven Jackson, while pitcher Humberto Sanchez and catcher Francisco Cervelli are headed to Trenton. Pitchers Jason Johnson and Sergio Mitre were sent to the Yankees minor league camp.
